Hello ! Thanks for your patience with my lack of posts this week, I was able to catch up on some backburner things with those few days away from the computer. I’m excited that we harvested our Pinot Noir grapes and the crop looks good, every year with the help of a winemaker we make vino to drink and give away to friends. Have you read the story of how we grafted our vines? The process is still so fascinating to me.

We hired a contractor and selected cabinets and a backsplash for grandma’s upcoming kitchen remodel and will be submitting plans to the HOA board for approval next week, so that project is moving along. Also I’m working with our local Committee on the Shelterless (see the Alma Project posts for the backstory) to pull together a professional clothing work closet with some donated commercial space in my hometown. Skim coating the drywall starts next week then we will be installing partitions, display cases and garment racks, it’s a space with a lot of potential and the cause is a great one, I’ll have more to share on that soon.
